12:17 pm
accept the fact just a simple attack on a silver entity and unfortunately for the past five years our government has actually bought into the american war on terror the american war has now become our war and they should catch on all of these terrorists that are doing it but unfortunately not able not able to handle the economic affairs of the country let alone disturb the mission that has been before and a country garden. south korea has signed an agreement with the us which allows it to possess missiles capable of reaching any part of north korea a previous arms pact with washington restricted sols ability to develop or deploy a long way druck its leaving many targets in the communist state reach for more on this we're joined by team bill and eva specialism live from london good to see there mr bill now south korea says it's bolstering its forces in the area what can we expect from the north from north korea in response was a moment i think we can just expect
12:18 pm
a verbal response. to very much more. they will be critically analyze the situation this is the product of a long discussion between the south korean government americans. the south koreans for a long time and wanted to extend the range missile and we must remember this is only this only covers ballistic missiles not cruise missile they have long range cruise missiles that can get all of north korea this new trickled into china. because the sticking point. is serious and americans are now agreed to it. with american election everything through the elections. from the south korea's point of view they want to build a capability for there are elections in december which conceivably my thinking more peaceful government now back in april pyongyang carried out what it called a satellite launch the u.
12:19 pm
was and dubbed it a ballistic missile test always excuses being made to extend missile ranges here. you know i don't have a satellite test few months ago that you have military implications because you facing the same sorts of rocket launching satellites and you do launch a missile i think that's sort of past history i think this particular. finding nothing very much to do with that satellite test it's just the product of long discussions both sides thinking this is a perfect time for electoral reasons to come to an agreement to extend a ballistic missile range now some experts are considered that the a green men could add to tensions in the asia pacific region because parts of japan . and china are now also with a range of that
12:20 pm
a genuine concern well. there's yes there is a certain reason talk for concern i mean more missiles around them there is not a danger but things basic isn't really thinking makes any any pressure difference to the balance of power balance of power in east asia only in america and say it's our chris say that north korea is a very weak new terms the real will to terms and we have to see this within the context of all american strategy to contain china so the actual agreement doesn't really have any any functional. to some extent increased tensions and i think that is now saying that the the tension because of elections but it won't really lead to anything i don't think that mr beale i mean the u.s. has repeatedly said it want to get involved in asia pacific conflict do you believe
12:21 pm
them. so i won't get involved and they won't get into age or pacific conflicts now that they say they will be very very wary of getting involved in the war notion but they might. know might in fact. the certainly very much involved in the. stoking of tension in the area this supporting the parent against china south korea . trying to drive south korea and japan together to try to alliance against china and so-called so we americans are very very. given the problem long term strategy to contain china let's leave it right there thank you very much a dear mr tim bill asia specialist from london but. right now a misunderstanding that left a young man badly beaten in a hospital bed
